Meh

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2014)

As a mindless action film with robots and creatures, sure, it's OK. Probably better off watching some anime series than this. At least they tend to develop the characters and have more plot. I could not help but sing "Voltron Voltron Voltron!" in my head.
The acting was, well, at times horrendous. The lead character was played horribly, and this was not just due to a bad script. Idris Elba did what he could with the script. Some other characters, like the scientists and the black market guy, are similarly well acted as the cold, predictable script allows. The female character was so horribly developed, so weak, such a drag, such a liability to all the good guys, that no matter what the actress did, I don't think I would have liked her.
All in all, a good time waster, but there are better, more fun time wasters out there. So if you have seen all of those, sure, you may want to give this one a try too. But do not expect to be blown off.
Voltron was much much much better (and weirder!)
